MASSAGING MAcHINE v Filed May 10. 192@ 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 12 is provided with a pulley 32 preferably alioned with the central pulleyBO.

. topv and crank projections37 are formed ony the sidewalls ofthe hinged sectionV so that 1 26 had thef crank discs.

' are connected ib drivin belt 33 serves as a suspending means for tire motor onlits pivot so that the motor serves as a-belt'tightener andalso may be raised and lowered to permit the Yshifting of the lbelt from one ofthe stepped pulleysAll to the other, a hand piece V35 being rovided 'to' facilitate this" lmanip'ulationf '1 is-suspending means alsois a factor in the-sound deadening so that the machine is very quiet kin its operation.

To facilitate the adjustment of the crank pins, forwardly facing recesses 36 are formed inthe sidewalls 3 .ofthe fixed portion ofthe when thetop is opened, free access maybe platform. for theoperator when using the dotted lines in Fig.f 2,zwit h the platform suspendedbetween them, or the platform Y may be swung totheextendedoperative po-` sition shown Aby full lines-inl!` ig. 2 in which position it constitutes an effectivebracefor the cabinet so that a person standing on theplatform may exert a yvery heavy pull onfthe applicators withoutmoving. the cabinet or tipping it over.f Tojretain the platform vincollapsed posi;` tion, I provide a spring catch .44 whichen` gages one-of the braces 4() whenthe platform is collapsed, Yas shown in Fig` 1 ,A shelf` 45,' is'provided to receive the applicators, one
